I disagree about Saddam, because the force and violence that he used to subjugate Kurdish and Shia culture, identity, political organizations, and nationalist or sectarian agendas was the fuel for the fire that took hold after Saddam was gone. If those resentments hadnt been building for many decades, I think alot of the sectarian conflict could have been avoided. Maybe not all of it, but alot of it.
And I agree with you that the Kurds should be independent. It wouldnt be easy, but why shouldnt that nation of people have their own state?
